Thinking About Contact Lens Implants in London?
Contact lens implant surgery, also known as ICL surgery, typically costs from around £3,500 per eye in London in 2026. The exact price depends on the type of lens used, the complexity of your prescription, and the level of care provided by the clinic. At premium providers such as EuroEyes, the cost reflects advanced lens technology, experienced surgeons, and structured aftercare designed to support long-term results.
Surgical Eye Implantable Lenses Explained
Surgical eye implantable lenses are advanced lenses placed inside the eye to correct vision, either by replacing the natural lens or working alongside it to improve clarity. Patients often reach this stage with a mix of terms in their head, surgical lenses, artificial lenses, implantable lenses, even “permanent contact lenses”.
Is Refractive Lens Exchange the Same as Cataract Surgery?
Refractive lens exchange and cataract surgery use the same procedure, removing the natural lens and replacing it with an artificial one, but they are performed for different reasons. Cataract surgery treats a cloudy lens, while refractive lens exchange is done earlier to improve vision before cataracts develop.
How Long Do Implantable Contact Lenses Last?
Implantable contact lenses, often referred to as ICLs, are designed to last a lifetime. In most cases, the lens remains stable in the eye for decades without needing replacement. That said, natural age-related changes, such as cataracts, may still require treatment later in life.
Can Implantable Contact Lenses Fix Astigmatism?
Yes, implantable contact lenses can fix astigmatism. In particular, toric ICL lenses are designed to correct both astigmatism and short- or long-sightedness at the same time, helping patients achieve clear, stable vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses.
Are Trifocal and Multifocal Lenses the Same?
I get asked this question more often than you’d think.
Usually halfway through a consultation, just as everything starts to sound a bit too technical.
“Wait… are trifocal and multifocal lenses the same thing?”
